John Trapp on Isaiah 26:18

Ver. 18. We have been with child] With divers devices and hopes, which yet have miſcarryed and run aſlope. See Job 15.35. with the Note there.

We have as it were brought forth wind] As did Queen Mary, to her own great grief, and the diſappointment of her Expectants; Dale the promoter for inſtance: Well (quoth he at the apprehending of Julian Living) You hope and hope, but your hope ſhall be aſlope. For although the Queens conceptions ſhould ſtill fail (as they did) yet ſhe that you hope for ſhall never come at it; for there is my Lord Cardinals grace and many more between her,Act. & Mon. fol. 1871. and it. But my Lord Cardinals grace departed the very next day after Queen Mary, Ib. 1905. having taken, as tis thought, ſome Italian Phyſick, and Queen Elizabeth ſucceeded in the Throne to the great joy of all good men.
